[Bug 1867668] Re: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver
I had *exactly* the (very well) described issues here: o Really weird corrupted font artifacts. o Bizarre semi-tiled blocks on my background screen. Occurred after doing an upgrade of Ubuntu 20.04 on an Dell XPS 7590. Running the suggested command: sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-intel And rebooting fixed everything.

The package being installed does not mean it is used. Xorg will use the correct driver 'modesetting' by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1867668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1867668] Re: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver
In Ubuntu Unity 21.04 Beta xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed by default, but doesn't cause artifacts. In a test version prior to Beta it did cause them. Regarding #25, I suggest removing it from the installer. I don't mind archives. I reported it against Ubuntu Unity: https://gitlab.com/ubuntu-unity/ubuntu-unity-issues/-/issues/85 I was told "it will be replaced by a update or needs to be remove at Ubuntu's end.". ** Bug watch added: gitlab.com/ubuntu-unity/ubuntu-unity-issues/-/issues #85 https://gitlab.com/ubuntu-unity/ubuntu-unity-issues/-/issues/85 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1867668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Follow-up on my comment #22: I installed a HDMI plug to my Intel NUC. Then removed the xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf. After reboot the plug was detected and the visual artifacts were gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1867668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1867668] Re: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver
This bug is marked as "Won't Fix" because it won't be fixed. xserver- xorg-video-intel is old and should not be used anymore. The default built-in driver (called 'modesetting') should be used instead. I'm not sure how safe it would be to remove xserver-xorg-video-intel from the Ubuntu archive because people upgrading from older releases where it was the only driver, might still have config files that depend on it. Not being able to find the driver specified in your config file would cause bigger issues than just "visual artifacts", like not being able to log in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1867668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Why is it marked as Won't Fix? The obsolete package xserver-xorg-video- intel is installed with the operating system.

I have my minipc server Gigabite Brix 4105 and the monitor is not connected to it. Installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04.2. I control it from my PC using VNC and no visual artifacts.

[Bug 1867668] Re: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver
Removing xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf did not work on my Intel NUC which is being used as a headless server. As it is a headless machine I control it from my PC using Remmina (VNC). The NUC does not have a monitor connected to it. When the NUC boots it searches for a monitor. If it can't find one it won't activate video. If so, Remmina VNC results in showing a black screen. In order to be able to see the NUC's desktop I need to "trick" it during boot into believing that a monitor is connected. This is done through 20-intel.conf. Its contents forces the NUC to believe that displays are connected: Section "Device" Identifier "intelgpu0" Driver "intel" Option "VirtualHeads" "2" EndSection Therefore, removing xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf resulted in that I could not see the NUC's desktop anymore via Remmina. As an experiment I connected a monitor to the NUC's HDMI port. In this case the artifacts are gone. I plan to try one alternative solution: plug a HDMI dummy adapter into the NUC's HDMI port. Then I might not need the mentioned code in 20-intel.conf any more. Then remove xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf, hoping that I can connect via Remmina. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1867668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
